Boomtown writes: "Cryptic launched their latest superhero MMO, Champions Online, in August. While showing a lot of promise, part of the fanbase was angered by what was perceived as lack of content, balance issues and changes to the XP curve. Here at Boomtown we liked the game, but felt it needed more polish in terms of combat and teaming mechanics. Now three months later Cryptic has changed literally thousands of things and content has been added. Both in terms of new powers, new missions and the first Halloween event.
We had the chance to talk to Bill Roper, Executive Producer of Champions Online, about the launch, the game and not least the future."
Cryptic Studios appears to be the latest Embracer-owned company to be impacted by layoffs.
Champions Online is based on the popular pen-and-paper Champions RPG, giving players the power of total customization of their hero experience while they explore a vast universe of richly detailed 3D environments.
The brand-new Witch Archetype brings ranged Support through the use of Curses to harm and spells to heal in Champions Online.
